No. 2 St. Rose punched its ticket to the Shore Conference Tournament final, after defeating No. 3 Rumson-Fair Haven, 56-40, in the second semifinal game at Brick Memorial High School on Tuesday night. After an evenly played first half from both teams, it was junior Kat Phipps who exploded for 14 points in what would be a crucial third quarter for the Purple Roses.

Phipps hit four straight shots from behind the arc, as the Purple Roses outscored the Bulldogs 20-12 in the third.
